An Old Fashioned Dinner.

The following is the list of the dishes ct
Thanksgiving dinner on a Pennsylvania
farm. Everything with the exception of
tha padding was placed upon the table at
once, to obyiate the necessity Of rising, as
the dear old hostess was none too strong
and kept no servants, and yet cooked it
all herself. At tho head Of the table was
Q large chicken pie, in the middle two
roast chickens, and at the foot was an
enormous turkey, and opposite the chick.
ems q roasted pig, There were fourteen
pies of different kinds, three large cakes,
boiled onions, mashed potatoes, and tur.
nips, apples, cheese nuts, custard, head
cheese, biscuit, brown and white bread,
and lastly q big plum pudding, and coffee.
All this for thirteen persons. This dinner
was twelve years ago, and all the diners
still live.

A THANKSGIVING SERMON.

OF all the days that have been set apart
rs sacred to the people of this country, two
stand forth in holy radiance rs the out
come of the purest sentiments. The one
Is Decoration day, and the other Thanks
giving. The one was born in loving men,
DRY OF the dead, and the other in gratitude
to the bountiful Giver of all we enjoy.
The flowers we lay upon the graves of our
soldiers and lost ones arc not sweeter than
the thanks we offer today. Some, indeed,
may not give articulate sound to their
thanks, but it is safe to say that in all
this broad land there is not one person
whose heart, whether it is weighed down
by sorrow or light with joy, does not send
at least one grateful thought toward the
source of all good, though perhaps they
are hardly conscious Of it.
Gratitude for favors given is pure and
ennobling sentiment, and meet is it that
this youngest and most signally blessed
country should set apart one day wherein
the whole nation, as one soul, should bow
in silent thanks for all the bounties and
blessings we enjoy: We receive the feast
In the spirit of q reminder that these
blessings are but q part of the abundant
store; and with the feasting the thanks
giving rises like incense. Let there be no
empty tables in all the land, that not one
single heart fail to offer its need; and let
us all "Praise the Lord for his good
works, for his mercy endureth forever"

DAKOTA ELECTIONS.

Reliable Returns From Most of the
the Counties---A Close Estimate on the
General Result.
BISMARCK, Oak, Nov. 2l.-Election
returns, official and unofficial, from sixty
out of the eighty-six organized counties
in the territory foot up 80, SO3 for division
ind q, 1876 against division, or total of
so, 500 votes. Of the twenty counties
not yet heard from it is safe to estimate
that the official canvass will show about
10, 292 votes cast, of which at least 8, 292
will be against division. This will make
the total vote on division in the territory
in round figures GO, 900 and the majority
for division 5000.

Report of the Treasurer Shows a Slight
Decrease in the Surplus.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 22.-The report Of
State Treasurer Robleter for the fiscal
year ending July 81 has been prepared
for publication, and shows balance in
treasury at that date, after deducting
$56, 03l.56 revenue fund overdrawn, to
have been $64S, $4,000. Compared with
last year the balance has decreased $685.
2S4.6I. This due in a measure to the ex-
penses of the legislature last winter, and
the appropriations made. The balance last
year was larger than any previous year
in the history of the state, which was
owing to it being an ''off year." when
the legislature was not in session.
The summary Of invested funds shows the
amount Of school district and county
funds held by the permanent school bond
to be $50, 1888, while the expenditure &C
count shows only 500, 566 paid out.
